Prof. Dr. Ali Qaradaghi, President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, initiates a humanitarian summit for Islamic and Arab countries to protect Muslim peoples and confront the crimes committed against Muslims.

Dr. Ali Qaradaghi has announced a humanitarian summit to bring together heads and officials of Islamic and Arab countries in Turkey, to agree on protecting the lives of Muslim citizens and ending the weakness of the Islamic nation.

It is worth noting that this summit was first proposed by the International Union of Muslim Scholars and then through Turkey, which will play the role of the host country. The summit is expected to include leaders of Islamic and Arab countries and those countries that reject Israeli crimes, and to achieve a set of goals that benefit the oppressed people of Gaza and Lebanon and all Islamic nations. For this purpose, Prof. Dr. Ali Qaradaghi officially announced the summit in a statement and provided detailed explanations about it.

Text of Prof. Dr. Ali Qaradaghi's Statement:

"To my Muslim nation, leaders and people.

This invitation stems from a heart that cares for its nation and feels the current duty and responsibility to protect all components of the Islamic nation, unite them, and prevent their fragmentation.

We are now facing a set of difficult challenges, where the forces and fronts of evil are trying to turn leaders against their peoples, or vice versa, to turn peoples against their leaders, with the aim of fragmenting and dividing our Islamic society. Therefore, I consider it our duty to move quickly and effectively to confront these plans and protect the nation from falling into traps.

It is clear that we have now entered a sensitive stage that requires collective action and a strong stance. From here, I propose the convening of a "Humanitarian Summit" to confront the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza and Lebanon. This summit is not merely a political and media event, but a practical response and a humanitarian voice for all who believe in justice and human dignity.

This initiative to hold a humanitarian summit to confront the Israeli aggression against Gaza and Lebanon aims to bring together the major Islamic and Arab states and unite their ranks in a timely humanitarian summit that seeks to prevent the genocide that the people of Gaza and Lebanon are facing.

This initiative was first presented at the forum of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and today it is officially presented from Turkey and some other influential Islamic countries.

Goals of the Summit:

• Ending Arab and Islamic weakness: It is clear that the Arab and Islamic nations need to adopt a strong and unified stance.

• Stopping the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon: We must quickly end this barbaric aggression.

• Agreeing on an international mechanism to protect civilians: We must agree on an effective mechanism to stop the crimes committed against our peoples.

• Establishing an international humanitarian organization: This summit seeks to establish an international organization that focuses on saving civilians in Gaza and oppressed areas.

We have many tools to put pressure on the international community. One of the most important of these tools is the threat of cutting off oil and gas, as Arab states own nearly 50% of the world's energy resources, and the world cannot bear their absence for long.

The Role of Turkey and Malaysia

A formal request has been directed to the President of Turkey and the Prime Minister of Malaysia to invite those states that reject the aggression to participate in the summit. This effort aims to create a strong international agreement to protect human rights in Gaza and Lebanon.

Organization of the Summit and its Side Activities

It has been proposed that the summit include personalities who are survivors of the genocide, to demonstrate their tragic experiences and profound human impact. The summit will also include a series of discussions and debates on the genocides in Gaza, Bosnia, and Rwanda, along with the announcement of an international agreement to stop genocide and protect the oppressed.

Importance of Continuity

This summit must be held periodically and continuously to ensure the continuity of decisions, and the international agreement must include financial commitments, the deployment of security protection forces, and diplomatic support to achieve our humanitarian goals.

Contradiction of Western Standards

It is regrettable to see the contradiction in the standards of some Western countries, as they talk about human rights and support them in some cases, but turn a blind eye to the crimes committed in Gaza.

This summit embodies the Islamic legacy of justice and fairness, similar to the (Hilf al-Fudul - Alliance of the Virtuous) in which our Prophet (peace be upon him) participated.

Turkey as the Host State

Turkey is the best and most suitable choice to host this summit due to its geographical location and international relations, in addition to its firm stance on the Palestinian issue.

Efforts of the International Union of Muslim Scholars

The International Union of Muslim Scholars has made great efforts to support the Palestinian cause and prevent the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. We have presented many proposals to confront Israeli aggression, but our efforts are limited, and we need the cooperation of Islamic states.

We condemn the Zionist atrocities and call for the protection of all components of the Lebanese people, emphasizing the rejection of partisanship and bias towards any specific party, because our stance is with the oppressed and wronged.

We call on everyone to forgive and provide assistance to the people of Gaza and Lebanon, in response to the fatwas issued on supporting these humanitarian efforts.

This initiative is the beginning of a long journey of serious effort and work to protect the Islamic nation, and everyone must unite, both leaders and people, to achieve our lofty goals."
